( self indulgent stage setting )

[Action // Forward Dated to Tuesday (17th)]

[And sometime about midday tomorrow, Masaomi is in the square It might be a bit dubious to recognize him even if you know him because his hair is dark brown now instead of the blonde people might have been used to (that was dyed okay) but he's back to being a peppy version of himself. Namely, right now, he's leaping up onto the fountain, climbing up onto it and then shouting for the plaza to hear-]

Heeellllooo~ Luceti~!! Boys and girls, particularly the ladies- aaah! Yes, particularly those, but guys too, who wants to go to the hot spring?! It's cool and it's stressful now and I'm sure some of you want to go, right? [He puts a hand on his ear as if expecting some cheers and shouts, even if none come he snaps his fingers and somewhat less loud, assuming he has some people's attention by now] Of course!

I promise not to peek, I'm just not that kind of guy! But we should make a party of it, right?! Right?! Ah... actually...

[He drops now, to the edge of the fountain and then skillfully leaping onto the ground itself, adopting a thoughtful pose. A very thoughtful one, stroking his chin] I do say ladies, and I mean that! Buuuu~t before I break any more hearts, I guess this is the time to mention that I, Masaomi Kida [And he puts a hand on his heart, and puts on a woeful expression] have a secret crush!! Try not to die of shock, I promise to still be sweet to you!!

[And then he bursts out laughing. Yes, he's forcing himself, but he's so back.]

[Voice]
[As a precursor, after breaking his ankle very badly on the last day of fighting, Masaomi got himself healed up by Raine, and now has been spending much time at Gold's place. He's gone out on crutches a few times so far, but nothing much and rarely for very long, still thinking about the fighting and all. But-]

Nooow~! As you well know, White Day is approaching! A time where I will repay the favors of all the lovely girls who have shown me the depths of their hearts. However!! Before that, before even that, there is a special chance I offer to you, girls of Luceti! A once in a lifetime offer, perhaps?

[He chuckles here, and places a hand on his chest. Time to change that.]

Though it is also a favor to me, please know that your short burst of affection and care will echo on forever, and this is truly something that I, Masaomi Kida, offer to all of you! A chance to leave your mark on a man among men?! Namely~!!

You could kiss my ankle to help make it better! And perhaps nurse me back to health?! Now, now! Don't all volunteer all at once, okay?! There's plenty of my body to go around, I open all of myself to you lovely ladies, young and matured, new and veterans!! Every last one, I know that your love-love power is the ultimate medicine!!

[Because, you know, he broke his ankle... bad. Raine set it on the battlefield and then back at Luceti did a healing it up via Nala, yes, but he was still told to stay off it for a while to ensure he didn't re-fracture the thing. And frankly, being in this house all the time, he's bored.

Which is probably why he decided to be ridiculous right here. Though there are... other matters that need attending. He'd prefer to go in person, but-]

Zan-kun, do you have a moment?

[...And is there anything else to say? Well, he could thank Raine some more, or Law or Aether or anyone else he helped him out, but for now he's just curious as to how the rest of that team he worked with is doing. He would go look into them, but. ...No way he can really do that right now. Maybe this'll attract their attention. Maybe not. For now though, he just lets it be with this.]
